This makes the slab much lighter than a massive solid concrete floor slab of equal thickness or strength.
Hollow core precast concrete floor panels slab thickness.
The uk s leading manufacturer of pre stressed hollowcore concrete floors.
Milbank hollowcore floors also known as slabs or planks are pre stressed concrete slabs with internal tubular voids creating an efficient and lightweight plank that is far lighter than other floor slabs of equal thickness or strength.
The use of precast concrete hollowcore flooring is a highly cost effective solution that fits easily into any structural system such as steel or concrete frame or indeed masonry construction.

The precast concrete slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab typically with a diameter equal to the 2 3 3 4 the thickness of the slab.
Along with being significantly easier to lift and handle during the construction process hollowcore slabs lower construction costs related to the amount of material required to cast the slabs as well as the cost to transport the finished product to the job site.
Hollowcore systems are prestressed concrete plank that serve as both a ready made sub floor for a garage and a ceiling for additional living areas.
The cables are drawn to a design tens.
All slabs are 1200mm wide and can be supplied with a maximum length of 12m depending on design and application.
Our precast hollowcore floors are available in sections 150 200 250 and 260mm deep.
These slabs are supported by cables embedded in the webs of the slabs under tension hence the name prestressed concrete.
